Buyer protection vs sending to a friend

I was supposed to send money to a friend in Canada (I'm from the Philippines) but PayPal is charging me for a fee. They have this other option, to purchase buyer protection, it says that PayPal won't charge me but my friend will be. Is there a way that I could send money without any charges to both parties? I thought sending money to a friend is free of charge.

Sending money to friend within the same country with PayPal balance or bank account is free. Everything else has a fee for you or the recipient.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
